In thermodynamics the internal energy of a system is energy

contained within the system. Properly it can be defined as:

The internal energy of a system is the sum of the randomly
distributed kinetic and potential energies of its molecules. Therefore,
an increase in temperature for a material means an increase in
its internal energy.

One calorie is defined as “the amount of heat needed to raise the

temperature of 1gram of water through 1°C (that is from 15.5°C to
16.5°C) usually one calorie is equal to 4.1868 joules.
2. The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water
through 1°C, equal to one thousand calories and often used to
measure the energy value of foods.
Where1kcal=4186.8joules.
Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to
another or even created at the expense of the loss of other forms of
energy.

Temperature is a measure of the ability of a substance, or a physical

system, to transfer heat energy to another physical system.
Five different dictionaries define temperature differently.
They were:

The degree of hotness or coldness of a body or environment.

A measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with
reference to some standard value.
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles a body,
expressed in terms of units or degrees designated on a standard scale.
A measure of the ability of a substance, or more generally of any
physical system, to transfer heat energy to another physical system.
